Congenital osteogenesis imperfecta-microcephaly-cataracts syndrome is characterized by multiple fractures in the prenatal period, microcephaly and bilateral cataracts. It has been described in three infants all of whom died in utero or a few hours after birth. The mode of inheritance appears to be autosomal recessive.
Features include very common findings: Microcephaly, Disproportionate short-limb short stature, Posteriorly rotated ears, and Cataract and others; and common findings: Blue sclerae, Decreased calvarial ossification, Hypertelorism, and Abnormal rib morphology and others. 29 total HPO annotations.
